Albany, New York: Harry Croswell, February 25 and July 30, 1811., 1811. Good. - Two folio issues, 13-1/8 inches high by 10-3/8 inches wide, and 13-7/8 inches high by 10-1/2 inches wide. Softcover, each bound in self-wraps with a wood cut of a hand holding a scale centered within the banner title at the top of each issue. 6 pages per issue, with the pages of the February issue numbered [65] through 70, and that of the July issue numbered [241] through 246, with text printed in 3 columns below the running titles. Once bound in with other issues, there are stab marks along the left margins and the cover pages are detached. A piece torn from the bottom left corner of the cover page of the July issue has been repaired with clear archival document tape, none of which affects the text. The pages are toned with some light foxing, especially to the top corner of the first 2 leaves of the February issue. Both issues are folded in half horizontally. Good. Among the columns published in the February issue are "Original Letters, from the Interior of New York State", and essays on "Washington's Birthday", "Observations on Sheep", and "Military Experiments". The July issue includes "Mr. Pickering's Address to the People of the United States. No. XVI", The "Editor's Closet on the Gaol Limits", and "Dr. Rush's Inquiry Into the effects of Ardent Spirits upon the human body and mind.". The publisher Harry Croswell (1778-1858) was a crusading political journalist, author and Episcopal clergyman. Mostly self-educated, he received honorary degrees from several institutions, including an A.M. from Yale in 1817, a Doctorate of Divinity from Trinity College in 1831. He was a co-founder of Trinity College in Hartford and he established the first public lectures in New Haven as well as founding an evening school for adult African-Americans. Croswell played an important role in first amendment battles over religious freedom and freedom of the press. He became Rector of Trinity Church on the Green in New Haven, Connecticut, establishing 7 new churches within the limits of his parish.
